Definitions

  • the invention relates to a disconnection arrangement having a first electrode and a second electrode, with the second electrode having a recess which at least partially holds a gas generator.
  • a disconnection arrangement such as this is known from Swiss Patent Specification CH 347 885, which describes a surge arrester which is equipped with a disconnection arrangement in order to interrupt current.
  • the disconnection arrangement has a first and a second electrode, which are separated from one another with the recess in the second electrode being overhung partially by the first electrode.
  • the recess is designed such that a gas generator is accommodated in it, with the recess being closed because of the shape of the gas generator.
  • the second electrode Surrounding the gas generator, the second electrode has a projecting shoulder, such that the projecting shoulder is used as a foot point zone for an arc. The projecting shoulder is intended to protect the gas generator there against arcs flashing over.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a disconnection arrangement which has a better tripping response.
  • this is achieved in the case of a disconnection arrangement of the type mentioned initially in that the recess is covered by an electrically conductive cover.
  • the shielding of the gas generator serves on the one hand to guide an arc of projecting body edges of the second electrode, while on the other hand these body edges are also used to shield the gas generator.
  • This multiple purpose means that compromises have to be made with regard to the design of the body edges.
  • a cover according to the invention makes it possible to guide and to steer the foot point of the arc in an enlarged area in the vicinity of the gas generator. This allows the thermal effect of the arc to act on the gas generator in a better manner, preventing direct jumping over to a housing section of the gas generator since the gas generator is located within an area in which there is no field, and the gas generator itself is not part of the shield for the area in which there is no field. It is thus possible to set the response of a disconnection apparatus in a better manner. For certain cases, there is no need for the gas generator to be tripped on operation, that is to say when an arc is struck between electrodes. This is true in particular for relatively low-powered arcs.
  • the power level of an arc is governed by its absolute magnitude and by its time profile.
  • the cover allows arc paths of relatively low-power arcs to be lengthened within the disconnection arrangement, and allows the arcs to be quenched earlier. This is additionally assisted since, because of the cover, a larger volume of electrically conductive material is available, which allows heat to be dissipated quickly.
  • the wall thickness of the cover can be varied in order to adjust the response threshold of the gas generator. It is also possible to use different material combinations and/or alloys for the electrically conductive cover.
  • the provision of an electrically conductive cover is particularly advantageous for disconnection apparatuses in which the gas generator is tripped exclusively by arc effects. Disconnection arrangements such as these are also referred to as a “one-way disconnection arrangement”. In contrast to this, an additional heating element is provided on “two-way disconnection arrangements”, and can be used to trip the gas generator.
  • explosive capsules containing explosives for example blank cartridges
  • gas generator By way of example, explosive capsules containing explosives, for example blank cartridges, can be used as a gas generator.
  • other pyrotechnic elements By way of example, it is also possible to use other pyrotechnic elements.
  • An electrically conductive connection to the second electrode makes it possible to transfer the electrode potential to the cover in a simple manner.
  • the cover is possible to use the cover as a guide for a foot point of a burning arc.
  • Lower-cost materials can thus correspondingly be used for the electrode material.
  • An alloy material, which is correspondingly resistant to being burnt away, can be used for the volume of the cover, which is smaller than the volume of the second electrode.
  • the provision of a separate cover on the electrode makes it possible to combine the electrode with covers shaped in different ways. Arc paths of different shapes can thus be produced in a simple manner.
  • a further advantageous refinement makes it possible to provide for the cover to be formed like a shroud.
  • the cover In addition to the configuration of the cover, for example in a flat, disk-like form, it is advantageous to provide the cover with a recessed area.
  • the recessed area can be used in order to hold an arc foot point in specific areas of the cover and thus to form an arc foot point zone.
  • the shroud-like recessed area in a cover can be used, for example, to center and to position the gas generator.
  • the cover it is advantageous, for example, for the cover to have a dome-like projection.
  • This dome-like projection may in this case have various shapes.
  • cup-like shrouds can be provided, or it is possible to provide truncated-conical or cylindrical spheres.
  • volume elements can be distributed variably by means of a more or less strongly pronounced shroud shape.
  • volume elements can be compartmentalized which are intended to be used only as required for accommodation, for example, of erosion products of the arc or for temporary accommodation of expanded gases.
  • a further advantageous refinement makes it possible to provide for the gas generator to be pressed in the recess such that it can move guided with respect to the cover.
  • the gas generator such that it can move allows it to be moved while an arc is burning.
  • expanded gases can be used for this purpose.
  • the compression of the arc energy to a movement of the gas generator allows a portion of the arc energy to be dissipated in the interior of the disconnection apparatus.
  • the gas generator can be guided in a cylindrical recess in which it can be moved like a piston.
  • the gas generator is always arranged, when the disconnection apparatus is in the unoperated state, in the vicinity of the zones which are intended for guidance of the arc. This makes it possible to ensure rapid response times, for example in the case of high-power arcs.
  • the gas generator it is advantageous for the gas generator to be pressed against the cover for example by means of an elastically deformable element, such as a helical spring. Furthermore, the contact pressure with the gas generator makes it possible to remove this from the cover, for example in the case of low-power arcs, against the contact-pressure force on the elastically deformable element, and to move the gas generator back to its initial position against the cover again once a low-power arc has decayed. It is thus possible to control the tripping of the disconnection arrangement in a better manner.
  • a further advantageous refinement makes it possible for the recess to be in the form of a blind hole and to have a widening cross section at its end facing the cover.
  • blank cartridges which are pushed into the recess, which is in the form of a blind hole, are particularly suitable for use as gas generators.
  • blank cartridges In the bottom area, blank cartridges have a radial flange which is held in the widened cross section of the recess when the blank cartridge is inserted into the recess. This makes it possible to insert the gas generator into the recess such that it is flush.
  • the widening cross section should extend in its depth in the direction of the bottom area of the recess, which is in the form of a blind hole, such that, when the cartridge is moved in the direction of the blind hole, the opposite end of the blank cartridge indirectly or directly strikes against the bottom of the blind hole before the peripheral collar on the blank cartridge is in place, thus restricting any movement of the blank cartridge, which acts as the gas generator.
  • first electrode to have a first arc foot point zone
  • cover to have a second arc foot point zone
  • Arc foot point zones are used to steer and guide an arc when it is burning.
  • the arc foot point zones may, for example, have a circular structure, an annular structure, a structure with projections, shroud-like structures, etc.
  • the provision of a respective arc foot point zone on the first electrode and on the cover makes it possible to provide an arcing area for the disconnection arrangement in a comparatively versatile form.
  • a further advantageous refinement makes it possible to provide for the cover to have a gas channel.
  • a gas channel on the cover makes it possible to divert a portion of the gas pressure for example through a recess, from the arcing area of the disconnection arrangement. It is thus possible to enlarge the volume of the arcing area of the disconnection arrangement, when necessary, via the gas channel.
  • the available volume can be enlarged by mounting the gas generator in its recess such that it can be moved in a similar manner to a cylinder, with the gas generator being moved to a greater or lesser extent depending on the magnitude of the gas pressure.
  • the gas generator and gas channel in this case interact like a valve. It is thus possible to damp the influence of the arc.
  • the cross section of the gas channel should be smaller than the arc foot point zone which is intended to guide the arc on the cover.
  • a further advantageous refinement allows the cover to be positioned on an insulating body which separates the two electrodes from one another.
  • An insulating body can be used to separate and position the two electrodes, including a fixing for the cover. Furthermore, the insulating body can also be designed such that it at least partially bounds the arcing area of the disconnection arrangement.
  • hollow-cylindrical insulating bodies can be used for this purpose.
  • clamping seats and interference fit makes it possible to provide sufficient mechanical robustness for the entire arrangement. Connections formed such as these adequately seal the individual assemblies from one another.
  • the insulating body it is advantageously possible to provide for the insulating body to have a specific impedance value. This impedance value makes it possible to control the voltage drop across the arc path, in parallel with the arc path. A flashover can therefore be deliberately initiated in the arc path.
  • a non-reactive resistance to be connected in parallel with the insulating body, and to make electrical contact with the first electrode and the second electrode or the cover element. It is thus possible to set the tripping response of a disconnection arrangement more specifically when using high-impedance insulating bodies. Irrespective of the physical design of the disconnection arrangement, resistance elements connected across the arc path define different types of operating characteristics of the disconnection arrangements.
  • first electrode, the second electrode and the insulating body are embedded in an electrically insulating sheath.
  • Encapsulation compounds such as resins or silicones
  • an electrically insulating sheath can be provided as an electrically insulating sheath. These embed the electrodes and the insulating body, and surround these components. It is thus possible to protect the electrodes and the insulating body against external mechanical influences and, for example, to make the disconnection arrangement resistant to open-air use.
  • the electrically insulating sheath can make the disconnection arrangement mechanically robust. This can be done, for example, at low cost by the use of shrink sleeves which additionally press the individual components against one another and assist the robustness and angular stiffness of the overall arrangement.
  • a further advantageous refinement allows the two electrodes to be made rotationally symmetrical with respect to a rotation axis, and to be separated from one another at the end, without being coincident.
  • Rotationally symmetrical electrodes can be manufactured at low cost. Furthermore, rotationally symmetrical bodies have dielectrically good contours. Projecting points and edges are avoided. Disconnection arrangements such as these are therefore also suitable for use in the medium-voltage, high-voltage and very-high-voltage range, that is to say for voltages above 1000 volts, in particular above 10 kV, 30 kV, 70 kV, 145 kV and above. Separation of the two electrodes at the ends allows the arc foot point zones to be arranged opposite at the ends, in such a way that they are opposite in the form of a plate-type capacitor. The electrodes are therefore covered by insulating material in the radial direction in the region of the arcing area.
  • this may be the insulating body. This allows better steering and guidance of the arc and prevents premature damage to the gas generator, for example by frequent operation of the disconnection arrangement by low-power arcs. Despite the disconnection arrangement having been operated, this ensures reliable tripping of the disconnection arrangement in the future as well.
  • a further advantageous refinement allows the disconnection arrangement to be included in an output current path which can be controlled by means of a surge arrester.
  • Surge arresters are used, for example, in electrical power transmission networks in order to form an output current path to a ground potential when necessary, for example in order to dissipate overvoltages.
  • the output current path is connected by means of voltage-dependent resistance elements, so-called varistors.
  • the surge arrester is therefore part of the output current path which, for example, runs in the form of a conductor system from parts which are generally live to ground potential.
  • the surge arrester therefore represents a switching element, which can be switched repeatedly, in the output current path.
  • the disconnection arrangement When the disconnection arrangement is included, the disconnection arrangement makes it possible to ensure that permanent disconnection of the output current path is possible, for example, in the event of a short circuit in the surge arrester.
  • a disconnection arrangement represents a safety device in order to prevent the formation of a permanent ground-fault current path in an electrical grid system in the event of a fault in the surge arrester.
  • the disconnection can be carried out in such a way that tripping can clearly be seen from the outside.
  • this can be achieved by the disconnection arrangement being broken down into a plurality of parts when the gas generator trips, such that the response can easily be seen visually, because of this breakdown.
  • a further object of the invention is to specify a method for operation of a disconnection arrangement which has a first and a second electrode and a gas generator.
  • the expression operation means that an arc is struck in an arcing area of a disconnection arrangement. Operation such as this takes place, for example, when the surge arrester responds.
  • One object of the invention is therefore to specify a method which allows more defined tripping of the disconnection arrangement.
  • the gas generator may be mounted like a piston in a sliding form in a recess which acts as a guide device, such that the movement of the gas generator opens up the additional accommodation volume for the expanded gas.
  • the gas generator should advantageously be tripped during or after movement of the gas generator. It is thus possible to provide an adequate time window during the movement of the gas generator in order to make it possible to distinguish between low-power arcs, which, although they result in operation of the disconnection arrangement, should actually not cause tripping of the disconnection arrangement, and high-power arcs which would also cause tripping of the disconnection arrangement after operation of the disconnection arrangement.
  • Low-power arcs are not able to introduce sufficient energy into the disconnection arrangement that sufficient energy is available to trip the gas generator even after an enlarged accommodation volume is made available. Low-power arcs expand after additional accommodation volume is released. It is possible to provide, for example, for the accommodation volume to have a variable volume, depending on the strength of the arc. Different chambers can therefore be provided which are connected in steps, or one chamber can be provided which itself allows a volume change by deformation or movement of the walls.
